I know I've posted this before but height threads always bring in good discussion. Just saw Jameer posted a funny image on twitter about height and women and trolls. Reminds me of when I was at the gym last week... It was late around 9ish and I was overhearing two blondes talking about height of guys... I won't go in to specifics but the jist of it all was that short guys were a no go, and the funny thing was, one of girls had to have been like 5-2. Ouch. Even the short girls want tall guys. I am 6-1 myself, I consider myself average, my gym partner is 6-5 but I weigh more than him, he is a little bit skinny, but he has a hell of a frame, long arms and wide shoulders. If he ever figures out how to fill out, he will look dope.

Girls are very strange when it comes to guys height. Like you said, even the short girls don't want a guy who's height starts with 5. If you use Tinder, you'll see it all over the place. Girls aren't shy about saying "Swipe left if you're under 6 feet" or whatever
Luckily I'm 6 feet 1, but I've tried asking girls on tinder why they're so image conscious about someone's height... never got a straight answer.

I'd love to have a wife who's 3 inches taller than me.

Someone I used to be interested in told me she likes her men being at least 6'2". I thought that was a pretty ridiculous requirement but she is 5'7'' and she grew up around guys in her immediate family and cousins who are all at least 6'1''.
As a guy whose only 5'8''-5'9'', I would love a girl around 5'4''-5'5'' but since I'm not too tall, I'm not too picky. I would even date a girl an inch taller maybe. Dating a 5'11''-6'0'' girl? Nah, too tall. My parents are short but I have a good amount of cousins who have gotten as tall as 6'3''-6'6''.

Crazy how true this is. I almost tried out tinder but my friend told me this stuff happens a lot more often than you would think.

I'm 6,2 and saw a woman at the footy who was at least 2-3 inches taller than me. Apart from us being pricks and naming her "Big Bird" I did think to myself "I'd totally go for that at least once, just to see what it's like to do it with a tall chick"

I always felt if I was as tall as 6'0'', I would have garnered more attention from girls. Heck, I once asked a close female friend to rate me out of 10 and she admitted that she had to take a point off cause I was only an inch or two taller than her at the time (5'6'').

I read a study about what girls look for in online dating, they listed the top 5.
Height was #1
Having hair was #2
Can't remember the rest but income was pretty low because every dude on there acts like they got it made.

I remember ages ago I was with some friends and a couple of girls were saying how they don't date small guys because it reminds them of their little brother.... My short friend there looked like his soul left his body

Have that same problem.
My last gf was actually the same height as me, 5'7".
Thank God most girls are around 5'2"-5'6" or else i'd be ****ed. :lol
A <180cm man can have a 10/10 chiseled Adonis face but still lose girls to the 7/10 >190 cm guy.

a couple reasons i can think of... They want a guy that wont be shorter than them if they wear their high heels
better to hug a tall fella
and the security part. Not many people mess with someone 6'3 or taller

I'm 6' and almost every girl I have ever dated, talked to, or f*cked has told me they couldn't see themselves with a guy under 5'10. Some of them even mock shorter guys and make fun of them. It's hilarious.
Anyway, the reason I've been told is because women like to feel safe and protected by their man (this is the majority of them, not all.) They like the feeling of a guy being able to wrap their arms around her and she feels like shes being held by a bear. So when you have a combination of muscles and height, it drives women crazy physically. If you have nice facial features, nice hair, confidence, and a sense of humor, it's game over. They're immediately attracted physically and basically all you need to do to get what you want from them is not f*ck it up.

And if women think taller guys are better protectors, they are ignorant. Some tall guys can fight, some can't. Some tall guys are awkward as hell and easily get that ass beat.
I'm like 5'10. No girl ever complained about my height. They complain about your height if you're an ugly mfer. Give them what they want and it doesn't matter

I'm a 5'5" balding Hispanic dude lol (24 yrs old), getting girls isn't the easiest thing for me BUT, I see dudes my height with broads/married, so obviously it isn't impossible. I also have little ass hands, girl's really aren't into that. My saving graces are my personality, intelligence and facial features.
A lot of girls do care about height, but not all of them.
Thankfully I live in a city where there are a lot of short dudes.

Most guys exaggerate their height by 1-3 inches. I think that's silly. Its not like people cant see.

All very, very true. I even forgot about the last part about security. I've seen several females say that.
I'm at 6'0" and I feel good about it.

You guys say this as if women use logic when making choices, especially when it comes to dating.
But in the end, you'll be able to meet girls even if you're short, but a lot the shallow women won't really consider you as a legit option.
Also, "shallow" and "hot" have a huge overlap fyi

I never really cared about my height outside of sports being young. But when you finally get to 18 or 21 (whatever the legal clubbing age is wherever you live), it makes a huge difference.
Even if you're tall and gangly you get looks from girls. Helps if you fill out though.
Saying that though, I'm 6'3 or 6'4 (not sure), and it is nice going to a club and being the tallest, or one of the tallest dudes there.

This is on point, and I feel crazy lucky/thankful to posess most of those (everything tbh), but I still dislike Women who make fun of smaller guys..feel for those dudes.

5' 9.5" but I like to round up. I'm sure I would have gotten laid more when I was younger if I was 6', but it really means nothing once you're older. I can count on two hands how many girls I've been with, but it's a high enough number to bother my current girlfriend. If I was at 20+, it would probably be a deal breaker for her. Be grateful that you're invisible to the shallow girls out there. You probably don't want to spend any extended period of time with them anyway.

Yeah I'm legitimately a shade under 5'9'' (about 5'8.5''-5'8.8''). I remember being only 5'5'' at 17 before my last growth spurt and tried convincing a girl I was 5'7" because it said it on my license (somehow in NY they don't measure your height unless you add like 3+ inches, one of my friends actually tried it lol).
